Cooley Speaks
Congressman Cooley spoke after the
Senator. He paid tribute to his ‘ per
sonal friend, Jere Zollicoffer. declar
ing that in the recent congressional
race in the district “we went into it
as friends and came out greater
friends.”
‘Henderson tonight has somethin::
to be proud of,” he said. He remind
ed of the founding of this republic on
a basis of cooperation, and tailed on
his hearers to “stand by this great co

It is so unnecessary to suffer

pains, because “B. C.” will bring
soothing relief in three minutes
"B. C.” is prepared by a registered
pharmacist, compounded on a differ
ent principle from most relief-giving
agencies in that it contains several
ingredients, used by many physi
cians, so blended and proportioned as
to accomplish in a few minutes what
we believe no one drug formula can
do in so short a time. “B. C.” should
also be used for the relief of common
colds, headaches and neuralgia, mus
cular aches and pains, reducing fever
and for quiet.ng a distressed nervous
system without opiates, narcotics or
such habit forming drugs. Get “B. C.”

Goerch Jokes
Carl Goerch. ot Raleigh, publisher
of “the State,” spoke m humorous
vein. “Last week, ’ he said, “I vas
down in Rocky Mount interviewing
Dick Fountain’s cow, and tonight I
am here listening to a lot of bull. He
s,aid Henderson had a right to be
proud of its town, but in serious
thought said this great crowd was not
her emerely to celebrate a new street
and a new white way but to celebrate
a returning prosprity.
"Proud of You,” Governor Says
Mr. Zollicoffer introduced M. C.
Miles, chairman of the central com
mittee on the celebration, and \v . L.
Coibitt as parade chairman, and then
piesented judge Walter L. Small of
Elizabeth City, who has held court
here this wee!-:, and who presented his
fellow townsman, Governor Ehring
haus. He told ot some of the things
the governor has done in straighten
ing out State finances and offered Mr.
Ehringhaus as “the greatest governor
of the greatest state in the Union.”
“I came not so much to make a
speech as to extend my congiatula
itc'iis to you, he said. "vie am piouu

the people s confidence in themselves
jutside dollars and brains don't build

eason of ability of those who reside
here already.”
North Caiolina is today basking in
a prosperity hardly with an equal
anywhere in the nation, the governor
said, citing business statistics show
ing that Eastern Carolina is touay th
brightest spot in the country. Hi

At all times the crowds were good
natuied, and everybody seemed to
have a happy time of it throughout.
There were few arrests, and virtual
ly all of them were for petty drunk
enness.
Cooperative Movement
Perhaps at no lime in i lendersonV
history has there been a greater co
operative movement than this ceie
brat ion has been. Every one who
helped, and that included almost all
who were called on, gave of their
funds and their energies.
There was really surprise at the
bigness of the thing and the excellent
manner •in which the day’s program
was carried out. It is believed that
Henderson made countless thousands
of friends and got for itself a world
of good will and publicity by its ceie
bration.

has today! —(Photo by Goodrich)

poles. The Carolina Telephone &
Telegraph Company put all its wires
underground at its own expense.
Many business firms have erected
handsome new electric signs in front
of their places of business, and all
in all the main street gives Hender
son a thoroughfare probably without
a peer anywhere in the State in towns
and cities its size and many much
larger.
Many Guests
It would be impossible to name all
the distinguished visitors who were
here. In addition to Governor Eh
ringhaus, Senator Bailey and Con
gressman Cooley, there were Gurney
P. Hood, State bank commissioner;
Will Woodward, of Rocky Mount,
member of the State Highway Com
mission for this district; Charles G.
Powell, secretary to the governor;
Captain Charles D. farmer, head of
the State Highway Patrol; and others.
J. R. Porter, executive vice-president
and George A. Holderness, chairman
of the board of the telephone com
pany and others were here from Tar
boro. Mr. Sutton, president of the
power company and others in his
organization was also here. There
was also W. L. Lumpkin, of Louis
burg, member of the General Assem
bly, and prominent candidate for
speaker of the 1935 House, and John
A. Park, publisher of The Raleigh
Times; C. A. Upchurch, Jr., of the
News and Observer. And so on down
the enumeration might continue.
In addition to the parade and the
night speaking program, there was
amusement of various kinds going on
at all times during the intervals. A
minstrel aggregation furnished part
of this. John Lowry’s family helped
out. And there were others. The fin
al event of the celebration was the
street dancing, whiph lasted until
around 2 a. m. today. The white peo
ple had theirs at the Breckenndge
street intersection. The colored peo
ple had the block between Montgom
ery and Church streets.
Local people left their cars at
home or parked them far out to give
visitors accommodations.
Drug stores and eating places did
a tremendous business during the day
and evening.
And let no one forget this: The bril
liant lighting on Garnett street was
not for last night alone. It is per
manent. Tl'hei 62 lights will burn
every evening until midnight, and aft
er that 24 will burn all night. Addi
tional lights are to be installed as
quickly as the equipment can be re
ceived.
It was perhaps the biggest day
Henderson ever had. Business suffer
ed during the long months the street
waa torn up for the work to be done,
but everybody now believes it was
worth all the cost.
